Do you really think that’s the choice Flames management will make?
Other than this past season when Nashville made a late surge to contend for a wildcard spot and still sold at the deadline, I can’t recall an NHL team in a playoff spot selling off players - especially core players - at the trade deadline. And count me skeptical that the Flames will be bold trailblazers if they find themselves facing that choice.
